Palestinians slam USA veto on Jerusalem resolution

After unilaterally declaring Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the United States has vetoed a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution against recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital city.

It would also have affirmed that "any decisions and actions which purport to have altered, the character, status or demographic composition of the holy city of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded".

Britain's Permanent Representative Matthew Ryrcroft reflected the views of the other members when he said the U.S. decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital had no legal affect and his country disagreed with it.

Slamming the resolution as an "insult", she said, "What we witnessed here today in the Security Council is an insult".
